If the GOP upsets the will of the people they dig thier own grave . That being said I think he gets to 50%

"I believe my vote should count"

I agree, i thiunk the top 2 should have a national runoff where voters get to choose. If you come in first with 49% of the vote, that means more people voted gainst you than for you, so I don't think you deserve anything based on that.

"Funny you calling Trump a " con artist "

You kep saying that. Maybe I did, but I thought someone elkse came up with that.

"you are ok with the GOP pulling a stunt like this"

Those are th erules of the GOP, and Trump deciuded (this time anyway) that he was a Republican and wanted to run as such. They didn't implement these rules specifically top stop him, those rules were there long before he announced he was running. But I agree, it seems un-democratic fo delegates (who aren't elected) to overrule the wishes of the people. But if the majority of the voters want someone other than Trump, and we get someone other than Trump, that's not the same as if Bernie won the most pledged delegates and the superdelegates steal it from him. That's my opinion, and you could make a strong argument that I am wrong. It's a tough issue.

"That being said I think he gets to 50%"

Part of me hopes that you are right, so that people at least feel good about the integrity of the process.

You made a compelling point, you sure did.
